OUR CAMPUS AND CITY
Originally located in a heritage building in the heart of Gastown, Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhood, we’ve recently expanded into a second campus in the heart of Downtown Vancouver. The new Seymour Campus is dedicated to classroom space for our in-person programs. Our Gastown Campus provides studio space for InFocus Film Production students and a rental space for independent filmmakers to shoot.
Filmmaking can’t be completed in a class, and for that reason we make our rooms and computer labs available for student use all day. Classrooms, editing studios, studio space, and meeting rooms are available at any time the room is not being used for a class.
With a prime location in the downtown core, we are accessible from multiple major transit routes and easily reached by bicycle. We are within walking distance of hundreds of restaurants, shops, and cafes, and are minutes from both ocean and mountains. InFocus Film School is truly the ideal location to study film.
